Grateful for sleep

Those who know me know, I get little sleep. Those who don't know me and read this, have probably guessed that too, given the fact that I bought a domain name called Sleep Deprived Mum

Now, I am still sleep deprived (thank goodness.. I have no back up name, whatever would I do!) but...



I have been getting sleep!! Mini Miracle, the boy who never sleeps, has taken to giving us approximately 4 night a week with only 2 wake ups after 10 pm!! Sometimes even just the one. One night, he slept from 8pm to 5.30am. Of course that was the night I was lying in bed wide awake with aches and pains, but that is beside the point.

This leaves 3 nights where there are more than this, and sometimes it is the hourly wake ups that we have come to know and ... not love. But I am still grateful. No big surprises that due to this sleep, i am much better equipped to tackle the days.

Thank you little man, I am so grateful for the sleep. I feel like much less of a zombie

Better go and think of another name for my blog site incase this continues, or shock horror improves even

.Join in Maxabella's bloghop, be grateful!

  1. Yay!!! As a fellow SDM, I fully understand the enormity of getting a couple of nights a week with only a couple of wake ups. You will hardly know yourself!

    And... just (very) quietly, don't worry about the domain name. We are almost seven years in with our non-sleeper... sssssshhhh... x

  2. I know exactly how you feel, I've been a SDM for 5 years now, had 5 babies in that time and now have 4 great sleepers and 1 (7.5 months) still waking as he's currently teething! I promise it slowly gets better, but I found that when they do start all sleeping through, we as Mums dont cause we keep thinking they will wake up!!
